Abstract
This report is an environmental analysis of the Iowa Coal Project Coal Beneficiation Plant in Ames, Iowa. Based on site monitoring and a review of related literature, this report analyzes the impact of the beneficiation plant on the natural environment. The present environmental features are described and evaluated with particular emphasis on existing surface and groundwater quality. The component processes of the beneficiation plant are presented and the plant environmental design features are described. The beneficiation plant is not expected to have a significant impact on the area but the development of a coal beneficiation technology in the State of Iowa can be expected to significantly impact the Iowa coal mining industry. Research needs in expectation of this development are offered in the report.
